“That is the thing about status. We all want it, but, should we acquire it, we don’t want it to mean anything.” #Blonde #Status #Race #TressieMcMillanCottom https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/19/opinion/the-enduring-invisible-power-of-blond.html?referringSource=articleShare

#TressieMcMillanCottom being banned on #TikTok (presumably for discussing how #Blonde isn’t a hair colour per se but a signifier of a type of person) is heinous.

#WhitePeople have this idea that they shouldn’t be uncomfortable or have their customs and norms questioned and that functions to the detriment of marginalized people.

It is not enough to refrain from spewing slurs. #AntiRacism requires you to work constantly, to question your beliefs and to prioritize equity over your own feelings

#TressieMcMillanCottom confirms my feelings about the show #Yellowstone and why I don't need to watch it.

white people love to believe they and theirs aren't racist, literally *can't* be racist, merely because they don't use certain words or nominally associate with *some* non-whites (yet, in whose homes do they most often socialize?)

#KevinCostner seems to believe he is some great white savior (#DancesWithWolves); this feels more of the same.

@toddo @DeliaChristina A couple of semesters back, a student wanted their research question to be "What makes #TressieMcMillanCottom tick?" or something to that effect. I intended to nix it, but the student made a "but I *really* care about this" plea, and in the end I wasn't sorry I caved—I realized it was kind of a question I had too. <grin>

@ampersand I really wish #TressieMcMillanCottom would make her way over here.

She's so dang EVERYTHING.

When students read #TressieMcMillanCottom (who I deeply miss from the birdsite), so many good things happen. This morning, I am celebrating a draft that includes an #epigraph (yay, epigraphs!) from #AngelaDavis. #amteaching
